Ichiro really only has 2,722 hits

Everyone is going nuts saying Ichiro has 4,000 hits this morning, but then I look up his stats today on Baseball Reference and he only has 2,722 hits so MLB is counting the other 1,278 hits from Japan.  Talk about the wussification of America.  Do not get me wrong Ichiro is still a HOF, but let’s stop jerking him off here for just a minute. I mean under these rules all MLB players should count their AAA hits and college hits right?  I do not know why Ichiro gets to include his Japan League hits. My Grandfather is rolling over in his grave right now over this shit.

Why are they cheering me for 4,000 hits?? Oh ya that's right, Americans suck at math.
